moss graffitti

like any self-respecting hip hop head I love me some graffitti art.  the downside, of course, is that the paint is toxic and the propellants used in the cans are addictive and carcinogenic.  not that the prospect of getting cancer matters to most of the folks who risk their lives daily to sneak in out out of train yards and  through the subway tunnels to bring coolness to the dull grey monotony of our city walls, but still.

here’s an idea for something cool, something a bit more subtle – it’s a spray on mixture you can make at home.  when sprayed on stone it encourages moss and lichen to grow so you can literally paint with greenery.  It also has the added bonus to not being immediately visible so if you get caught by the po’s they can’t charge you with felony vandalism ‘cuz your tag won’t even show up for a couple weeks.

get the recipe here.
